Most (new) house supply feeds are aluminum. Aluminum wiring in houses got a bad rap because people mixed aluminum wire with copper fixtures and got fires as the end result. It can work though, if the fixtures are made to not react with aluminum wire. It has higher resistance, so you need a larger diameter, but is still less expensive even so, which is why it's used for feeders.
As far as stuff made in China being junk - my laptop isn't. My phone isn't. My sister's iPhone isn't. They're all made in China. Chinese factories will make products to the quality level requested by the company they're making them for. Don't blame the factory, blame the company selling the product and look for a company selling a better product (it could even have been made in the same factory, but to a higher quality specification).
